Tips, tricks, and hacks. Name your favorite hacks for easier dip nails/filing!

I'm a newbie here and as stated in the title, if you can name any hack that cuts application time down or makes manicures easier for dip nails that would be appreciated.

One that works really well for me regarding filing has to be nail scissors!

Had the huge acrylic nail cutter but it never let me cut out th shape I wanted like the scissors do. Makes it so much easier.
